Best Day Ever
Half Day Trip on November 25, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child
Great communication leading up to the trip! I booked for my sons 13th birthday and Captain Roland did not disappoint. He made the most of our four hour charter. We caught Lane Snapper, Sheepshead, Drum, and Trout. Seven of those fish were keepers, which he fileted and bagged for us at the end.
Captain Roland was great about keeping our hooks baited and getting our lines unstuck to maximize time on the water. He was GREAT with kids. I think he has a sixth sense for when fish are biting so if you are like me and need some guidance, book with Captain Roland! Super knowledgeable of the water, tides, fish biting, and places to take you to have the best experience.

3/4 Day Trip on November 8, 2025 • 2 adults
My good friend and I went out with Captain Roland for a 3/4 day trip out of Jacksonville, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The weather was nice, the captain was knowledgeable and easy to talk to, and he put us right on the fish. We caught a nice mix of sheepshead and trout, and even hooked a redfish that was just a little too small to keep. When the trip was over the captain filleted our catch. I look forward to fishing with Captain Roland again

3/4 Day Trip on August 13, 2025 • 2 adults
My son and I had an amazing time on our charter fishing trip with Captain Bell. Even though my son got seasick, Captain Bell’s understanding and flexibility turned the day around. He adjusted the fishing plan with professionalism and care, ensuring we had a fantastic experience. My son is already excited to go again and insists on choosing Captain Bell. Highly recommend him for individuals and families looking for a fun, flexible, and memorable outing on the water!

As luck would have it, our prebooked trip happened to fall on the coldest day possible. Captain Roland Bell was amazing and willing to battle the cold temps and wind. AND we caught fish! The best.

GREAT TRIP
3/4 Day Trip on June 28, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child
Capt Bell was great, his knowledge and experience is second to none. He put us on fish quickly and worked hard to make sure our experience was pleasurable. We had my 5 year old grandson on board and Captain Bell was patient and work with him to make sure his trip was memorable. I would recommend Captain Bell every time to those who asked me who they should choose to go fishing with. A great time was had by all.
